On Toshiba HD-A3

While I enjoy the picture quality of the HD-DVD and the ability to output 1080i through component video. The A3 is set to region 1, does not play PAL disc, does not have DIVX support, and takes a long time to start up or load a disc.

The upconverting feature is decent, but I already owned a few others.
'The 7 free HD-DVDs' is the only thing that makes it an easier deal, but then the killer is the WB decision.

Unversial released plenty of movies that I cared for lately, but to buy a HD-Player just to deal will their materials (and Paramount's) exclusively is a bit much..
